The Shack

Watched 2025.

The screenplay is careful with the theology of the Trinity. I'm not sure how I would react myself to encountering a vision of a female Black God and a supermodel Holy Spirit, but they keep to their lanes.

The portrayal of forgiveness seemed appropriate. It is the not the facing of the sinner so much as the soaring past the sin along one's own journey.

The wife's experience was underwhelming. She seemed to be satisfied to return to the sad situation of not knowing and not forgiving.
